y Rogers is an express and baggage mes.
senger on the Pittsburgh division Of the
Buffalo, New York & PHILADELPHIA rail-
road. He runs between Buffalo and
OIL City, aud simply handles closed
pouches. The trouble started in
Northwestern Pennsylvania three
months ago, and the Z postmaaters
and clerks at Oil City, Titusville,
Gerry, Warren and Erie have been sus-
pected. Trouble was also experienced
with the mail from North Evans, only
fifteen miles out Of Buffalo. Inspector
German, Of Philadelphia, worked up the
lower end and Adsit started from Buffalo.
They suspected Rogers, and yesterday at
North Evans fixed up a registered letter
addressed to Frank Oleah, Watertown, N.
Y. This was put into the pouch and
given by the postmaster into Rogers
hands. When he arrived in Buffalo the
letter was gone. The officers made par
ttal search, but did not recover the money.
The inspectors say they have clear case
and will bring Rogers before the United
States Commissioner tomorrow. Rogers

move an internal humor, has aucceeded
beyond expectation. 1t was a most nm

the Queens nervous system, which never
was very strong, will suffer from the oper-
alton, although 1t is hoped that a soiourn
in the country will prevent this. W
During the performance of the opera

Special Dispateh to.tse lnitlIioenoer.
CnARLEsToN, w. Va, May 2.-The Re.
pubHcans held their final caucus thil
evening and 1t was quito fully attended.
To say 1t was harmonious does not convey
the impression. It was the frat caucus Of
the Republicans at which there was any
hearty and general applause. A protracted
session was held with closed doora as
usual, but the obligation Of secrecy was re-.
moved because all previous csucuses have
been very fully reported without this
formallty.
A proposition was made as a feeler
that enough Republicans stay out to 60.
euro Camden's election, but this was over
whelmingly voted down. The speeches
were enthusiastic, and 1t was agreed to
make nomination and stick to It through
the session. Mr.. Hagana named W, 81,
d. Flick In neat speech, and he received
a majority Of the votes aud his nomina.
ton was then made unanimous, Messrs,
Carr and woodward were both present.
There is no use talking Of Camden. He
can'tg get there. Even the Cincinnati En-.
qlirer will scsrcely have the hardihood to
predict his election again tomorrow as 1t
has every day for week. il
The anhs held caucus tonight with sll
present or accounted for and found them
selves just where they left of. They will
pursue the same policy as before.
The Camden men on the contrary have
decided that If their candidate ia not elect.
ed on Wednesday they will take down
their flag and and new caucus will be
held and q new Democrat nominated and
elected. It Is we'll understood that Gam.
den's own choice Is Judge Faulkner, Of
Berkeley county. w.s.r,
